TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Embarrassing. That’s the only way to describe newly installed White House press secretary Katie Zacharia’s first press briefing yesterday morning. Zacharia came across as just another incompetent Trump administration cast member hired on the basis of looks (think University of Alabama prom queen). I’m guessing a parody of the press briefing will be “Saturday Night Live’s” opening sketch with Scarlett Johansson playing the bumbling, girly press secretary.

Worth noting: NewsBusters predicts that Zacharia’s tenure could be an “unquestioned success”...Adios: Kimberly Guilty-foyle resigned yesterday as the U.S. Ambassador to Greece. She is a poster child for the term kakistocracy...You and 99% of Americans: Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley writes that livestreaming Nidal Hassan’s execution by firing squad is a bad idea. Scott Greer of The American Conservative also pans the gruesome plan....The Daily Wire, which only last month debuted its latest feature film, the widely roasted anti-Islamist “Infidels,” will have its latest feature film debut tomorrow at the Warsaw Film Festival. Confession stars Brad Lowe as a professor arrested in1938 Russia. The big name cast, which appears to signal the Daily Wire’s growing Hollywood ambitions, also includes James Franco, Nick Nolte, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Dean Norris and Emile Hirsch. Most surprisingly, the screenplay was penned by right-wing superstar podcaster Ben Shapiro. It bows theatrically and on the Daily Wire November 11. (Deadline)...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting. Howard

The Department of Homeland Security executed a federal judge-approved search warrant at Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) residence.
